Vendor quotes issued under Aesthetic Inc. Source of truth for what was billed, to whom, and for what scope. Each quote lives in its own directory named <quote-id>-<slug>/; the source and built PDF are both named after the quote ID (<quote-id>.tex / <quote-id>.pdf).

Quote ID #

Format: AE-<YYYY>-<NNN> — AE for Aesthetic (Inc.), four-digit year, three-digit sequence resetting each year. Set once per quote via \newcommand{\quoteid}{...} at the top of the .tex source (and used as the filename itself).

Building #

Each quote builds independently with tectonic:

cd quotes/AE-2026-001-ucla-social-software
tectonic -X compile AE-2026-001.tex

Relative paths in the source:

Fonts: ../../system/public/type/webfonts/ (YWFT Processing)
Logo: ../../papers/arxiv-ac/figures/pals.pdf

Some quotes ship a build.fish instead — multi-page layouts with remember-picture overlays need two xelatex passes, and a quote may carry a grayscale variant. AE-2026-002 is built this way:

cd quotes/AE-2026-002-resilience-institute
./build.fish        # → AE-2026-002.pdf (color) + AE-2026-002-grayscale.pdf

The grayscale variant is the same source compiled with \def\GRAYSCALE{}, which desaturates the palette and images and drops decorative fills.

Starting a new quote #

Pick the next sequence number (look at the ledger, increment).
cp -R AE-YYYY-NNN-<prev-slug>/ AE-YYYY-NNN+1-<new-slug>/ (or start from a blank fork of an existing one).
Rename the .tex inside to match the new quote ID.
Update \newcommand{\quoteid}{...} and the \permalink / \permalinkdisplay macros to reference the new filename.
Update recipient, subject, scope, amount.
Build, commit, add a row to the ledger above.
